I'm decided to start playing around with creating a mod in 1.10.2. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA because it's the best software in my opinion. I got to the step where you run the command 'setupDecompWorkspace'. I expected it to take a long time because I am doing this on my tablet, but I didn't think it would take this long. It is stuck on ':decompileMc' and been on that for 2 hours so far. I don't mean to be impatient or anything, but is it supposed to take that long?

Ok, thanks. Good to know.

Did you remember to allocate a bunch of memory to Gradle?

 

Create a file in C:/Users/<your windows username>/.gradle/ and name it "gradle.properties", and then add

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx3G

onto a blank line.

 

It still takes a little bit, and might appear to get stuck halfway through but give it some time. It really shouldn't take two hours though.

Ya, I fixed it, I just ran it on the normal command line and it didn't take near as long. The tablet doesn't have much RAM to begin with, I probably shouldn't have even attempted it. I just want to get back into modding and don't have access to my desktop at the moment.
